Chen Yi had no idea that the beautiful female group member he'd muted would be so bold. At the moment, he was still happily chatting in the group.
【TMD the Immortal Ascension Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me: Three newcomers, between our group and the 98 group, which is better?】
Being fellow transmigrators, the three newcomers quickly caught the reference.
【Villain Seeking Self-Redemption: You are far superior—how could the 98 group compare to you?】
【The Fallen Genius: How could the 98 group compare to you?】
【I Absolutely Hate Cilantro: I... I'm not great with fancy words, but I'll be honest—Group Leader is the most handsome!】
【TMD the Immortal Ascension Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me: Hahaha, good! Now, introduce yourselves so everyone can get to know you. @The Fallen Genius, you go first.】
After sending this message, Chen Yi couldn’t help but smirk.
No particular reason—it was just that, according to Mu Chen, this guy also shared the surname Xiao and had a fate eerily similar to a certain someone.
However, before "The Fallen Genius" could even begin his introduction, a group notification popped up first.
【Ding! A rescue mission has been generated: Group member 'Cold Palace Stalwart' has transmigrated into the role of a disgraced imperial concubine. Due to her peerless beauty, the emperor has ordered her to commit suicide as part of his burial rites. She is currently being forced to take her own life by the imperial guards and is in critical danger. Her current strength is insufficient to break free from this deadly situation. Capable group members are requested to assist.】
【Combat Power Requirement: 50 million or above.】
【Mission Reward: 60 million points, 3 million group EXP.】
【This mission has been synchronized to the group. All members have 30 seconds to decide whether to accept. If no one takes it within the time limit, it will be forwarded to the public mission pool.】
Though Liu Ruyan hadn’t sent a single message, she had already captured the attention of every group member.
Just like when she had posted her selfie before, she instantly tugged at everyone’s heartstrings.
Coincidentally, it was also at this moment that the two previously muted members were unmuted.
Instead of scrambling for the red packet, these two hopeless idiots immediately rushed to express their concern.
【Runner-Up in the Cultivation World: Baby, hold on! I... I mean, the Group Leader will come save you soon!】
【Unemployed God of Light: Baby, don’t be scared! With the Group Leader here, you’ll be fine!】
Chen Yi: "......"
Seriously? Some things never change, huh?
If you care so much, why don’t YOU go save her?
If you can’t, then stop using me to show off!
Just looking at you two pisses me off!
【A Sword Immortal with Empty Pockets: Baby, promise me you’ll stay safe!】
Oh, so you think I wasn’t talking about you too? What are you trying to prove here?!
Chen Yi was so angry he laughed, immediately slapping them with another 24-hour mute.
【Group Leader has muted members 'Runner-Up in the Cultivation World,' 'Unemployed God of Light,' and 'A Sword Immortal with Empty Pockets' for 24 hours.】
【TMD the Immortal Ascension Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me: Since we have new members, I’ll say it again—this group has a zero-tolerance policy for simping!】
【Group Leader has accepted the mission and will initiate spatial teleportation shortly.】
Seeing the three new members too terrified to speak, Fang Zheng felt it was his duty to step in and explain.
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: Don’t worry, brothers. What the Group Leader means is that normal pursuit is fine, but you can’t be clingy like a lost puppy. Those three embarrassments just now... well, sorry you had to witness that.】
【Villain Seeking Self-Redemption: No worries, I checked the chat history. I fully support the Group Leader’s decision!】
【I Absolutely Hate Cilantro: Bros, if you ever need help, just come to me. I specialize in the Dao of Yin-Yang Harmony—but if your combat power’s too low, don’t bother! Attached: A selfie (Click to view)】
【The Fallen Genius: The one above is a literal goddess. In terms of looks, she’s no worse than Senior 'Cold Palace Stalwart.' I strongly recommend those three seniors go practice their mental fortitude with her!】
【Cold Palace Stalwart: Group Leader is the most handsome!】
【'Cold Palace Stalwart' has claimed 30,000 points.】
【All 320,000 points from the Group Leader’s red packet have been claimed. Luckiest Draw: The Fallen Genius】
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: ?】
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: Wait, hold on—the Group Leader hasn’t even arrived yet, right? Shouldn’t you be hanging right now? How do you have the time to grab a red packet?】
【Cold Palace Stalwart: What’s the big deal? It’s not like I’ll die instantly. Grabbing a red packet to calm my nerves is totally normal, no?】
【TMD the Immortal Ascension Tribulation Is Still Chasing Me: @Runner-Up in the Cultivation World @Unemployed God of Light @A Sword Immortal with Empty Pockets—You three simps, see now? While you were worrying about her, all she cared about was the red packet!】
Seeing the Group Leader take the lead, Fang Zheng immediately followed suit.
【I Really Don’t Want to Be Sacrificed: Exactly! The prettier the woman, the better she is at deception. Wake up already! She’s a woman who survived the imperial harem—you guys don’t stand a chance. Stop deluding yourselves. Be Sigma males—don’t fall into a woman’s trap again!】
【Cold Palace Stalwart: Ugh, what’s with you guys? How could you say that about me? I was just following the Group Leader’s will to teach them a lesson!】
Different worlds, same awkward silence. The muted trio felt like they’d just gone through a breakup—their chests tight, their hearts aching.
Meanwhile, Liu Ruyan was being strangled to the point of her eyes rolling back. The suffocating pressure, like a python coiling around her, made her consciousness fade in and out.
It had been nearly two and a half minutes—why hadn’t that damn Group Leader shown up yet? When Fang Zheng was in trouble, he arrived instantly!
She wanted to hurry him along while she was still conscious, but for some reason, she couldn’t focus enough to even open the chat interface.
Could it be...
Was she really about to die?
The moment she realized death might be imminent, Liu Ruyan panicked. A surge of survival instinct made her struggle with all her might, clawing at the white silk noose around her neck.
But alas, this imperial-grade silk was a magical artifact designed to suppress spiritual energy. With her measly 5,000 combat power, she couldn’t break free—instead, the noose only tightened further, forcing her delicate pink tongue to loll out.
Her consciousness dimmed. Just as she was about to plunge into endless darkness, her life began flashing before her eyes.
So it’s true… people really do see their life replay when they’re about to die...
How unfair… I just transmigrated, and now I’m dying again...
Damn Group Leader… I’ll haunt you even as a ghost… I hate you...
With that final resentful thought, Liu Ruyan felt herself falling into an endless abyss, descending deeper and deeper...
Only after she had already accepted her death did Chen Yi finally step out from the void.

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
